I ' • A month ago I had a meeting with the Nutritian staff to figure aut ways to irtcrease the
lunch count. One thaught was an article in the Renton Magaiine about aur Nutritian Program.
I spoke to the Editor to find out their policy and if they were interested in doing a story. He was
� disappointed since they do not do stories on programs but more on peop(e invoiued in �
programs to make it peaple oriented. He mentioned we have a couple people such as Verniece
Lenius who are 141 years old and volunteers almost every day of the week and our new cook;
Cher, who is doing a great job. The Editor is gaing to take the information back to her writers to
see if they can do something.

One camment—"an our lunches they have stapped the salad bar, it wauld be nice to start it
�� once in a while." Shawn said this issue came up durirrg his meeting with Nutrition. Nutrition

I serve a (ot of inea(s with a small salad. Saiad bar was purchased by the Advisory Board for over
